Broken

Well what a day I've had today.
It started of lovely and at 7.50am I was walking down the stairs and boom step on Sushi cat and down I go!

At first I was more worried about the cat tham myself. I put ice on my wrist and got my daughter ready for school.
Still being in pain I took some strong painkillers. On the walk to school my wrist got very swollen and I made the disision that I should got ti A&E.

One of the lovely mums said she would give me a lift and Makeshiftmummy said she would pick up my daughter. So off to the hospital my son and I went.

When I got there it was empty. This is quite unusual for my new local hospital. I was quickly seen by the nurse and sent through to minors. I waited there for a little while, while my son decied to entertain the only person apart from us in the waiting area but going to every empty chair and saying its colour.

I was then called into see the nurse practitioner who sent me to x-ray after explaining what had happened for the second time. Off to X-ray we went. When I was called in I found out that my son could not come in with me. Normaly I have someone with me but on this occation I was by myself. Lucky for me a very nice old gentleman said he would watch my son for me while I had the x-ray. I wish that the hospital would put up a notice to tell you that unless it is the child who needs the x-ray they can not come in with you.

I had 7 images taken, by which time I knew something was wrong. Normaly they only take 2-4 when I have had x-rays of my list before.

So back to minors I went. By this time my son wanted to go home and was playing up. I was quickly called back in to be told that my wrist was broken. While I was waiting for the back slab, plaster of paris half cast, put on we got to wait in childrens A&E where all the toys are so my son could play while we waited for the plaster to be put on.

We got called in about 15 mins later and the plaster cast put on. After I finished I was given an appointment for fracture clinic where I will have the fiberglass cast put on.

So thanks Sushi cat!!!
